Customer Reviews L'Artiste by Spring Step Swan

I love these shoes. The design & art on them is worthy of display. they are surprisingly comfortable for a mid height heel. They run small so I recommend a size up. I bought one in red in my normal size 7 & this blue in size 8.5 which is slightly long but still works much better than the size 7. I was so sad to return the red ones but happy I still have the blue. if they have your size still on sale - grab them !

I Love these shoes. So different and cute with the dyed flowers and antique brass button. The multi color straps makes them look wonderful with many outfits. I get compliments every time I wear them. The wedge heel dresses them up, and the cork type shoe bed makes the shoe very, very comfortable. I can walk in these for hours. They dress up an outfit, but are casual enough to wear with a sports skort or causal capris.

Let's start with the color. It is much paler and muted than the picture depicts. Also, these run a little narrow, so my toes don't fully reach the top of the shoe. I can't say if this is the reason I fell twice on the sidewalk. I own so many pairs of L'Artiste and this is one of the notable misses. Oh well, this review is moot, as my doctor said these shoes are not good for people with hip problems.

Way to small…go 1/2size larger

I love, love this brand and have several pairs. The Swan style was super-cute and the size 35 / 4.5-5 was perfect lengthwise but oddly wide in the straps. I have a short, wide foot and normally these would have been great, but I kept walking right out of them—or they kept walking right off of me. Everything else was great. If you are a larger size, these will probably be good for you. I reluctantly sent them back.

I ordered these on a whim. I absolutely love them. So comfortable, no break in time needed. Love that the instep strap is adjustable, I’m narrow in this area so it’s so appreciated that I can adjust to my size.

These sandals are so comfortable and look great!

These are beautiful. True to size, adjustable instep strap is a plus. I have a narrow instep and usually can’t wear this style, my foot would slide forward too far. Now I can tighten the strap and they fit perfectly.

Love them! Fun color and style. I bought them to go with a new red blouse but was happy to see that they will go with a number of things in my wardrobe. As always, delivery by Zappos was fast and dependable.

These fit perfectly. I like to order European sizes as they seem to fit my foot better. These are easy to wear with a dress or with jeans. Very happy with this purchase.

Toe box too narrow for my foot

I love these shoes!! They are PERFECT. I wear size 8 but ordered 8 1/2 due to other reviews. I worried they would be narrow. They fit perfectly and are very comfortable. Quality shoes I will wear with dresses or jeans.

I loved these shoes. Unfortunately one of the straps was attached incorrectly and couldn’t be repaired. Zappos graciously took them back. They don’t have my size anymore so I had to go to another site to get a replacement.

Love these!

these run a size too small. I love these so much but just too small. it is hard to keep my foot in them. I have them in blue as well in 39 and they fit well just a smidge long but very stable on the foot. I am a size 7 or 38 in Naot and most shoes. these are truly great shoes and if they have your size , grab them

I wear a 6.5 and you were out of those, but the reviews I read said they ran a bit small so I took a chance and ordered the next size up, knowing that with this particular type of shoe, the fit doesn’t need to be perfect. They are roomy to be sure, but not too loose and very comfortable. I’m sure I could’ve gone with either size and been happy.

These shoes are really cute, but they aren't as comfortable as the Jamila style with a lower wedge and two adjustable straps. These also were short.

Straps are too loose

I liked these, the colors were bright very much as shown on the website. Ordered a size up because I had to on the last pair of L'Artiste that I ordered. Lengthwise they fit but the shoes were much too loose on my feet I walked right out of them. I have to return them.

This shoe was beautify, and I suspect it would fit well...but the the top straps closer to my toes were strangely so high they barely touched my foot. I would not have been able to keep them on my feet! I had to return.

These were way too loose on my foot. The size was right but the shoe left too much side room and no way to adjust it.

These are super cute. The leather is stiff, at least when they are brand new. The heel is not too steep and they are comfortable. They did not work for me though because the straps over the toes and foot are too big for my foot. The top strap is adjustable but it doesn’t tighten the lower straps, so the lower straps kind of hovered over my foot and my foot was slipping out with every step.

So disappointed with these shoes they look and feel like a knock off compared to what L'Artiste normally made. Leather is stiff, shoe is sloppy fit in my normal size. I went to a retail store that has this same brand and similar price and they don't have any that look this cheap. What's the issue with this company? I will be returning them.

Have taken this shoe to my shoe repair shop to rebuild so it doesn't cause me to trip - it is sloppy fit across the front - he generally does a great job - but why should I have to pay more money to get a decent fitting shoe? The length is perfect and if I order a smaller shoe my foot hangs out front and back. So frustrating and disappointing.
